To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SEW'ERYN MOSCIOKI, a citizen of the Republic of-Poland, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Frames for Hand Bags; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention provides a frame for satchels, hand bags and analogous containers which will enable the material comprising the bag to be riveted or sewed to the frame by machine and which provides for an increased storage space as well as preserving the shape of the article when weighted.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent and suggest themselves as the nature of the invention is understood.

/Vhile the drawings illustrate an embodiment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet different conditions and requirements, various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the nature of the invention.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of the application,

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the frame in open position,

Figure 2 is an end view,

Figure 3 is a plan view of the inner frame member,

Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 of the outer frame member,

Figure 5 is an enlarged cross section of the frame with the members in closed relation, and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the outer frame member.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views of the drawings by like reference characters.

The frame of the hand analogous article comprises complemental members 1 and 2, each of U-form and pivotally connected, as indicated at 3. Each of the members 1 and 2 comprises offset portions disposed in planes having a parallel relation, one of the parts having openings and adapted to receive the material forming the body of the bag, satchel or the like which bag, satchel or is adapted to be secured thereto by rivets or stitching which may be effected by machine.

The other parts of the members are adapted to overlap and receive the usual fastening means such as the lock and catches.

The inner member 1 comprises oflset portions 4 and 5 and in intermediate connecting portion 6. The parts or flanges 4 and 5 are disposed in different planes which have a parallel relation. The part 5 is relatively narrow and receive the fastening means which may be riveted or otherwise applied thereto. The parts 4: have portions cut therefrom at intervals to provide openings 8 and the material 9 comprising the body of the bag, satchel or the like is adapted to be attached to the part 4:.

The outer frame member 2 comprises offset portions or flanges 10 and 11 and an intermediate connecting portion 12. The parts 10 and 11 are disposed in different planes which have a parallel relation. The part 11 is formed with openings 8 similar to the part a of the frame member 1. The part 10 is relatively wide so as to overlap the part 5 of the inner member and cover the fastenings 7 applied thereto. The material 9 comprising the body of the bag or like part is attached to the part 11 in substantially the same manner as to the part 4.

By constructing the frame members with offset portions and having the outerpart formed with the openings 8, a comparatively light, strong and durable frame is provided which admits of the material being secured thereto by rivets or stitching adapted to be effected by machine and the bag may be of relatively larger dimensions and will, under all conditions, maintain "the predetermined shape without drawing or sagging.

What is claimed is:

1. A frame for bags of the class described consisting of sections, one of the sect-ions being movable relatively to the other, each section having a laterally offset perforated flange for attachment of the bag body thereflange, each section having a connecting portion extending at a right angle to said surfaces and inwardly therefrom, flanges laterally ofiset from said connecting portions and in planes substantially parallel to the first mentioned flanges, the second mentioned flanges being perforated for attachment of the bag body thereto and inwardly ofiset with respect to the outer surfaces of the first mentioned flanges.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
